Van Dijk focused only on Holland, not Liverpool

Virgil Van Dijk has said that he is currently focused on Netherlands as he is on international duty.

The Liverpool defender has been preparing with the national team to win a spot for the 2020 Euros by winning the final qualifiers. However, VVD has some extra pressure since his club team are also in the title race this season and have to play their hearts out to beat Manchester City to the title. 

However, it seems VVD is unfazed by the different challenges and is focused on one place at a time. 

“I’m not gonna say that [it feels like Liverpool’s year],” he said. 

“It’s something for the media. For players the main thing is we focus on the game ahead of us. 

“For me personally it’s Northern Ireland, it’s a tough task. What happens with Liverpool in the future we’ll see, we have no influence on it, the season is so long. My focus is on the next game, at the moment that’s [with our] national teams.”

“He’s a fantastic player, a very important player for our team here at the moment, wherever he goes in the near future it will be a good thing for him,” he added.

“But he’s still at Lyon at the moment you have to respect that, until things happen you have to see how they go.”
